We have either a Full Day Hire, or a Wedding Weekend Package and the latter is most popular with brides. Our popular Wedding Weekend Package means that the hall is exclusively yours for 2.5 days, from Friday until Sunday (mid-day). It means that you can set up the hall on the Friday, and on the Saturday, simply concentrate on your wedding day, with a morning the next morning (not necessarily you), at the hall to remove all your belongings and take down bunting, etc. You receive the keys on the Friday, and keep them all weekend, returning them at mid-day on the Sunday. This package includes the hire of the tables, conference chairs, (enough for 150 people), the fully kitted out kitchen, bar, the music system, access to our wifi (for you and one other person), and a clean up the next morning by our caretaking staff. Civil Ceremony You can now get married, renew your vows, or have a baby naming ceremony at the hall. The amount is in addition to the cost of the hire of the hall and reflects the cost of the venue’s license with the venue’s representative(s) being present to assist the registrar and the bride and groom; importantly, you must also book the registrar separately as they perform the ceremony. The best way to contact them and explore your options is through the Getting Married in Staffordshire website here: https://www.staffordshirewedding.info/

Personal Message from the Manager

Name of Wedding Contact: Helen

Our venue is a charity, serving the community, but it's name belies its appearance. Our facebook page reflects times when we open the venue to everybody for viewing, either for the first time, or for those people who have already booked and are planning their table layout, so sign up to that (Dilhorne Recreation Centre), or give me a ring and we'll arrange a suitable time for you to have a look - and everyone is welcome - and you won't be disappointed!
